Built By Salon Experts
Designed for the True Realitiesof nail salons
We built Lotus Ledger after years inside the nail salon business, watching owners fight software that was never designed for them — ancient desktop programs or generic retail POS tools that don't understand commission splits, tip payouts, or a front desk doing checkout while three walk‑ins wait.
"Nail salons don't run like boutiques. You split tips, divide commission across services on one ticket, and manage walk‑ins while phone bookings pile up. So we built for that — not around it."
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about setup, logins, and technician management.
Yes. Unlike generic retail or food‑service systems, Lotus Ledger is shaped directly by years of nail salon operations — automatic commission splits, tip splits, walk‑in boards, and private technician logins out of the box.
Each nail artist gets a secure, private login on their own device to view schedules, client history, and daily commission in real time — without exposing owner‑level financials.
Absolutely. Lotus Ledger runs on any iPad with iOS 14+, and connects to standard card terminals, barcode scanners, receipt printers, and cash drawers.
Set split rules per service (e.g. 60% technician / 40% salon). At checkout, Lotus Ledger calculates the exact payout, adds tips, and deducts card fees automatically if enabled.
No lock‑in contracts, setup fees, or cancellation penalties. Month‑to‑month, cancel anytime — and we'll help import your services and client list for free.
